Craigslist SCAM using my property

So I had a listing up on Zillow, FB, etc etc in Late Dec..... I had 2 people contact me and reference a rent price, When I corrected them, they told me "that's not what it says on Craigslist"......come to find out that some one pirated my ad and placed it on Craigslist.....my exact ad except lower price etc..... I NEVER post on Craigslist..... Well I got it rented out real quick and figured it was a done deal..... NOPE. Had another contact about it (he forwarded me the link) and my tenant contacted me and told me on 4 occasions people have knocked on the door...cash in hand. Awesome.... So I FLAGGED the ad on Craigslist.....no idea what that does. I cant find any form of customer support for Craigslist, so no help getting it pulled. I then used my Google Voice # to send him a text to see if its still available....and he replied......it is :)...... so I replied with some question about it being occupied or not, can I meet him there this weekend?....waiting for his reply....... So today I posted an add with all the same info and a big SCAM ALERT across it...... think that the best I can do... Anyone else had this happen and if so, how did you handle it? Doubt the local police would do anything.....
